		<description><![CDATA[ A small study out of Sweden suggests it might.
24 patients with ankylosing spondylitis were given omega-3 or placebo for 21 weeks.

Patients taking 4.55 grams of omega-3 daily showed a significant decrease in disease activity as measured by the Bath Ankylosing Disease Activity Index (patient response to 6 questions about disease severity).
